It was the centre of intense socio-political activities, the Set of learning, the seat of religious movements. During its long and undeterred course of history it has contributed in the filed of art, architecture, sculpture, paintings, dress and ornaments, food dishes and language etc. Centers like Paithan, Devgiri, Aurangabad, Ajanta, Ellora attracted large number of saints, poets, men and literature and artisans from all over the country.

<p><strong>Naneghat</strong> is a mountain located in the Western Ghats range near Junnar. <strong>Nanacha Angtha</strong> is the highest point at Naneghat which gives awesome view. Height is 350 ft from the cave of naneghat and is famous for Rappelling.<br />
Every measures will be taken to ensure your safety during the activity. Demo secession will be conducted prior to activity.</p>
<p><strong>Rappelling (English Name) also known as abseiling (German Name)</strong> is a method of a quick and safe descend after a climb. It’s an act of descending a mountain face by sliding down a rope, which is attached to a harness which is fastened to an overhead projection, with sufficient friction provided to control the speed of descent.</p>
<p><strong>Jivdhan fort : </strong>The fort stands at an important position to guard Naneghat. From here any help to Naneghat could reach in less time. It was under Bahmani’s control and after that it went to Nizamshah. In 1636, Nizamshahi was on verge of extinction. Shahajiraje rescued Murtiza, the last Nizam, from Jivdhan and took him to the fort Pemgiri. In 1818, the British captured all the forts and destroyed them. Jivdhan too became a victim and the main entrance was destroyed. Even today the marks of those cannot go unnoticed as we climb the fort.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Brief Introduction about Malshej Ghat:-</b></span></p>
<p><b>Malshej Ghat (</b><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans';"><b>माळशेज घाट</b></span><b>)</b> is a mountain pass in the Western Ghats range in the Pune district of Maharashtra, India. The site is nestled in the lofty rugged hills of the Western Ghats.A nice view of valleys is one of the major attraction here. The view from behind the MTDC resort is a must-see. It is also famous for dark woods and the animals inside. These animals includes tigers, leopards, rabbits and peacocks etc. But truly a famous place near Malshej Ghat is Khireshwar which is 2/3 km from rest house. Through Khireshwar village, one can visit the famous Harishchandragad,kokankada a paradise of trekkers. A beautiful Pimplejoga dam also. One of the beauties here are many waterfalls in the hilly regions. Various waterfalls from small up to the huge ones are really worth to see and many are right next to the highway in the mansoon.</p>

<p>The birthplace of legendary Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, The Shivneri Fort is not very far (approximately 40 km) from Malshej Ghat which is in Junnar region.</p>

</a></p>
<p><b>Shivneri Fort (</b><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans';"><b>शिवनेरी किल्ला</b></span><b>)</b> is a 17th-century military fortification located near Junnar. It is the birthplace of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of Maratha Empire.</p>
<p>Shahaji, Chatrapati Shivaji&#8217;s father, was a general in the army of the Adil Shah, Sultan of Bijapur. He was concerned for the safety of his wife Jijabai during her pregnancy as there was constant warfare going on. He therefore moved his family to Shivneri fort. Shivneri is a highly defensible location, with steep rocks on four sides and a strongly built citadel.</p>
<p>Chhatrapati Shivaji was born at the fort on 19 February 1630, and spent his childhood there.he got his name SHIVBA here. Inside the fort is a small temple dedicated to the goddess Shivai Devi, after whom Shivaji was named.</p>
<p>The highest point of the fort is at a height of 3500 feet above the sea level. The Junnar taluka lies at the foot of this fort. One more thing about Junnar taluka is that it has the highest density of leopard population in the country.</p>
<h3><strong>Some of the attraction places in and around Shivneri Fort are given below:</strong></h3>
<p>a. <strong>Badami Talao</strong>: This is a small lake at the centre of Shivneri Fort</p>
<p>b. <strong>Goddess Shivai Temple</strong>: There is a small temple of goddess Shivai inside the fort. Shivaji was in fact named after this goddess.</p>
<p>c. <strong>Lenyadri Caves</strong>: We can see the Lenyadri caves just two kilometerss away from Shivneri fort. The history says that Parvathi wanted have Vinayak as her son and performed penance at this caves for nearly 12 years.</p>
<p>d. <strong>Shiv Janmasthan</strong>: This is the birth place of Shivaji. It is considered by local people as religious place and also called locally as Shiv mandir.</p>
